- Summary
- Ever since he was a child sitting in the back of his parents' car, Jeff Griffin has been taking explorative journeys into the desert. In 2007, as an art student, he started wandering the back roads of the Mojave Desert with the purpose of looking for a place to reflect in the harshly beautiful surroundings. What he found were widely scattered postmodern ruins--abandoned trailers and campers and improvised structures--whose vanished occupants had left behind, in their trash, an archaeological record of astonishing richness and poignancy. Comprised entirely of unaltered reproductions of extraordinary found materials--drawings, charts, questionnaires, compulsively detailed letters, legal documents, jottings, journal entries, stunningly vivid and mysterious photographs--this is a work of sociological and literary daring that defies categorization.
